What's the current time and distance you travel to get to work or the longest?

I used to work near Heathrow Airport - about 14 miles away fom where I live and it used to take me about 1.5 hours each way to drive, now there's buslanes so if I still worked there I reckon it would take 2 hours each way!!

I have worked out of three offices over the last couple of years.

First one is 22 miles away from my house. Took around 25 mins to drive to.

I then asked for a transfer to the office closer to home. 6 miles. Depending on traffic it can take upto 45 mins to get home. :mad:

I am working in another office at the mo which is 12 miles and takes me 15 mins.

I go on the tube at it takes me about 25-30mins ish.

I'd hate to comute by car, on the tube I can read my book and relax, I hate driving in London at the best of times, let alone during rush hour.

The furthest away I worked was 10 miles but it took two buses and about 80 minutes to get there.

Now I work about 3 miles away and it takes about 4 minutes to drive there (but it takes 25 minutes to walk, and as it is still dark I don't walk all that often, but try to at least twice a month) :)

My current workplace is about 2 and a half miles away and the journey takes me 50 minutes as I walk. It's roughly the furthest away out of everywhere I've worked. Though when I was a full-time student my college was 12 miles away and the bus journey usually took an hour and a half.

Never again :no:

I need an hour and 45 minutes to get to college - I've found that even if I drive I still need that long due to the christmas shoppers stealing all the parking spaces :mad:

it takes me 7 minutes to get to work :D

I guess work is about 3/4 miles away takes about 7-8 minutes in the car and about 40 minutes if im walking, but about 50 if im dawdling.

Not too bad seeing as i end up walking quite a bit, as there is no buses :p

10 minutes (uphill!). I don't have a car so I have to walk, not that I'd drive anyway.

My journey to college was 10 minutes on the bus into Ayr, 55 minutes on the train to Glasgow and a 20 minute walk to college at the other end. When I'm living on a ship my journey time to work will be 0 minutes.
